TUI Group has selected Embraer’s E195-E2 aircraft to join the TUI fly Belgium fleet. TUI, one of the world’s leading tourism groups, will take delivery of three E195-E2 from AerCap on long-term lease. The aircraft, from AerCap’s existing fleet and powered by Pratt & Whitney GTF engines, will be delivered in a comfortable 136 seat, single-class configuration, in the first half of 2023.
“We are thrilled to add the E195-E2 to our Belgium fleet. Operating on short- and medium-haul routes, the new airplane is the most efficient aircraft in the market. It uses less fuel, has a longer range, while at the same time is 50% quieter and emits up to a third less carbon dioxide. The airplanes will operate mostly out of Antwerp, from where they will fly to more distant airports, which will allow us to expand into new holiday destinations from Northern Belgium”, said Marco Ciomperlik, Chief Airline Officer, TUI Group.
